We have at least two egg hunts in the next few weeks that are designed specifically for kid with special needs.

Cary will hold its fourth annual Easter Eggstravaganza from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., April 2, at Fred G. Bond Metro Park. Kids ages 12 and younger with special needs and developmental or physical disabilities are invited to this event. Kids are welcome to bring a buddy along to help during the hunt. The event also includes a visit with the Easter Bunny and other activities and entertainment. It's free. A bounce house and other fun will be available during the entire event. The hunts are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. for ages 7 and under and 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for ages 8 to 12.

Also, the N.C. Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments will hold a beeping egg hunt for the visually impaired. It's 10 a.m. to noon, April 11, at the Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, which is across the street from Pullen Park along Ashe Avenue. The nonprofit, along with the Winston-Salem Police Department Bomb Squad, are hosting the event, which also includes interactive activities with local groups that provide services to children with visual impairments. (Similar events also will be held in Winston-Salem and Asheville).

The event, which is designed for all ages, is free, but registration is required. Learn more about the event at its EventBrite site.
